Weddings are a huge thing, not just for the couple but for everyone attending, as everyone wants to look their best. A watch can elevate even the simplest outfit and make the perfect wedding gift. Here is what to wear for each role, function and budget, with picks from Just Watches.
How to choose a wedding watch
Let your outfit decide the watch, not the other way round. If you're wearing maroon, gold or ivory, a gold or champagne dial will look like it belongs. Pastels and whites, common at day weddings, look better with silver or a plain white dial.
Size is easy to get wrong. Most men are comfortable with something between 40 and 44 mm. Brides usually go smaller, around 26 to 34 mm, so the watch doesn't fight bangles and kadas for space on the wrist.
Think about the strap too, because a wedding is a long day. Steel is the safe bet. It survives haldi, heat and hours of dancing, and it wipes clean. Leather looks sharp but stains easily. If you're heading to travel destination, check the water rating as well. 30 metres is fine for splashes, but you need 100 metres to swim with it.
